Louis M. Onori Sr.

Thursday

Louis M. Onori Sr. of Nassawadox, Va., formerly of Burlington, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011, surrounded by his family and loyal loving dog. He was 76.

Louis was preceded by his parents, Josephine (Santini) and Luigi Onori, his brother, Thomas A. Onori, and sister, Michelina Onori-Smith.

Lou is survived by his daughters: Shellie L. Onori and her husband, Nuri Onal of Virginia, Michelina Onori-Perry and her husband, Shane of Virginia, and his son, Louis M. Onori Jr. and his wife, Tricia (Kulpa) Onori of Pennsylvania, and his grandchildren: Michael and Maeson Perry and McKenna Ann Onori. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews that he adored.

Lou was born and raised in Burlington City, and proudly spent 72 years there prior to relocating to Virginia.

He retired from the City of Burlington Water Treatment Plant after more than 41 years of dedicated service.

He was a lifetime member of The Endeavor Emergency Squad and the NRA.

When Louis wasn't at work he could be found in his yard tending to his vegetable and flower gardens or cleaning his pool, or playing with man's best friend unless it was hunting season. He loved to deer hunt and was a member of the Goose Pond Gun Club. He was a former member of the Mt. Holly Moose & Burlington Roma Club.

He proudly served his country in the U.S. Naval Reserves and then the U.S. Air Force as a jet aircraft mechanic.

Lou was a simple man that loved to try to make people laugh. He believed his highest calling in life was to be a hard working, loving, faithful and dedicated son, husband and father.

He was famous for saying the best thing he ever accomplished in his life was marrying the love of his life, his late wife Patricia, and having three children.

Family and Friends are invited to his viewing and funeral services at Page Funeral Home, 302 E. Union St., Burlington from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Friday, with Christian Service conducted by Rev. Canon Donald Muller. Entombment will follow at Odd Fellows Cemetery Mausoleum in Burlington.
